This is extremely interesting. Never seen two ants trying to take down a scorpion (although the sting would be quite ineffective a weapon against ants). What happened next? Is this part of a series?

Nice action. In these kind of events, it is better to first note down the time when the action started. What was the scorpion doing before the ants attached it? Initially how many ants came. Looks like there were two ants in your first picture, attacking the scorpion. After how much time other ants came. What was the reaction of the scorpions when the ants attacked it? We can see the scorpion is being dragged up the leaf. Approximately how much distance did they drag the scorpion in how much time. Mail me all the observations with images and will help you create a story for natural history section.

If you haven't noted down the time, you can see the time from the photo clicked.
